U+18C56 "𘱖" Khitan Small Script Character-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𘱖
U+18C56 "𘱖" Khitan Small Script Character-# is a specific glyph from the Khitan small script, a historical writing system used by the Khitan people of the Liao dynasty in northern China from the 10th to the 12th centuries. This character belongs to a largely undeciphered logographic script that was employed for recording the now-extinct Khitan language, distinct from the larger Khitan large script. The small script combines individual signs to form words, and while many of its characters remain unreadable to modern scholars, U+18C56 represents one of hundreds of such symbols encoded in the Unicode Standard to preserve and facilitate digital study of this ancient writing system.
